Observer
A good idea gone bad plagues this movie adaptation of D.M.W. Greer’s controversial 1992 play Burning Blue. - 50
The Dissolve
Burning Blue expends most of its energies mitigating against potential flaws, with very little left over to push it over the top and into the realm of quality independent cinema. - 30
Village Voice
Honorable in intent but risible in execution. - 30
Los Angeles Times
[An] earnest but terribly ham-fisted drama. - 30
The New York Times
The script, by Mr. Greer and Helene Kvale, rolls along with lifeless, profoundly unimaginative dialogue. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Burning Blue squanders its admirable intentions with its amateurish filmmaking and ham-fisted dialogue. - 30
Variety
Bearing a distinctly musty odor confirmed by its 2011 copyright date, this day-and-date Lionsgate pickup never achieves dramatic liftoff.
